2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground five-pepper mixture or black pepper

Drop the tomatoes into a pan of boiling, salted water for 5 seconds, then
remove them and skin and seed. Cut the flesh into 4 cm pieces and set aside.
Add the broccoli, French beans and cauliflower to the pan and cook for 3
minutes. Add the peas and cook for about 1 minute. Drain the vegetables, tip
into a warmed bowl and add the tomatoes and water chestnuts. Drizzle in the
vinaigrette, add the shallots and chives and mix well.
